Former Director of the Religious Courts, H. Muchtar Zarkasy, passed away on Monday, 17 October 2016 at the Islamic Hospital, Central Jakarta. The late led the Directorate of the Religious Courts from 1981 until 1990 when the Directorate was still under the Department of the Religious Affairs.

Through badilag.net, the Director General for the Religious Courts, Drs. H. Abdul Manaf, M.H., extended deepest condolences for the loss of one of the religious courts’ great heroes.

H. Muchtar Zarkasy was born on 12 August 1942 in Cilegon Banten. He was known as the mediator of the cooperation between the Department of the Religious Affairs (now the Ministry of the Religious Affairs) and the Supreme Court. The two institutions once had a dispute resulting in a little tension over who had the authority to produce the highest and final decision of the religious courts’ judgments, whether it was the Religious High Court or the Supreme Court. The late successfully harmonized the relationship of the two institutions.

Apart from that, during his tenure, the phenomenal Act for the religious courts was enacted, i.e. the Law No. 7/1989 on the Religious Courts. Following his retirement until his last days, the late was active in a number of social and religious activities, including his current position at the Indonesian Ulama Council as a member of the Law and Legislation Commission.
